Paint the spoiler BLACK! that Storm Trooper theme will look sick! Also, I'll have to find it but a forum member here wrapped his car in Satin White and it turned out SWEET!

I would still keep the spoiler, roof, trim and diffuser gloss black wrap.

Have you thought about the white tails? I think white tails and painted rear reflectors would look pretty damn sweet!

Not a big fan of the white lines honestly. I like the red contrast on the F10. I think it's one of the nicest tail lights there is

New rear color matched reflectors on

Well I went ahead and wrapped it in 3M Gloss Black Vinyl today. Took about 1.5 hours and I'll probably end up rewrapping it. It wasn't super difficult to do. Thoughts? Roof and mirrors are up next. I'm considering wrapping my interior as well.

ItBloo · 05-29-2017, 03:10 AM

Looks great! Almost time for the diffuser

Looks great so far! I ended up getting mine painted and should be getting it back hopefully Tuesday. But any reason you want to rewrap it? Are you not satisfied with the results? What wrap did you use?

lsturbointeg · 05-29-2017, 05:00 PM

interior parts in gloss black? definitely do the roof and mirror caps! that will definitely pull everything together and just flow nicely! maybe the door trim?

I stretched it a little more than I should have so there was some splitting among the vinyl. I used 3M 1080 on this job but just ordered Avery Supreme as I heard it's easier to work with.

Nice. It looks nice and from what I've also heard Avery is easier. I'm ordering Avery for my roof wrap and rails so that should go into work too soon.

Going to do the mirror caps next and see how I feel about it. Probably going to order color matched side markers as I think black ones look out of place. Also just ordered gloss black 535i badging

Let me know how the roof goes! My only concern is that Avery Supreme Gloss Black is apparently a tad less "black" than 3M, so I'm wondering if a piece as big as the roof will be noticeable.

ALPWhite · 05-29-2017, 07:00 PM

Yes, looks great!!

Oh wow. I haven't heard that before. Now you've gotten me thinking. I'm gonna try to go into a shop around me and see if they can show me Avery vs 3M. Thanks for that heads up.

I've thought about just buying replacement gloss black badges. They're only $20-$25 and save me the hassle of painting or wrapping these for nearly the same cost as well.

I did the even cheaper route which was plastic dip. It works perfect and its lasted years (on old car, only had this car for about 8 months)
